Links of the Week

A round-up of interesting sites, links, and everything in between found on the web.

Thanks to Marlon Gobel's twitter feed @MarlonGobel I found out about Dudepins.com. It's the men's version of pinterest. Take a look.

This cool tumblr, Copping and Scheming, has humor, a preppy with a slight hip-hop menswear point of view, and pretty girls.

My friend at The House That Lars Built has started a new post series called THIS GUY. She gets an image of a guy and makes up a little bio using images based on what he's wearing, it's great.

I'm fascinated by how bad the new Chanel No.5 commercial is. It made me look up one of the last ones they did with Audrey Tautou and Travis Davenport @TraviswSoul, now, that's a great commercial.

A Man vs. A Woman's Heart Sweater

Marlon Gobel

It's interesting to see how one would interpret a heart in terms of fashion. Take Marlon Gobel's heart sweater for instance; it's very factual - very real. J.Crew's heart sweater was made for a woman. It's an enlarged simplified cartoon heart. So what does this say about designs geared for women vs. men? Do women prefer more idealistic designs and illustrations whereas men prefer realistic designs? What do you think? As for me I'll stick a more realistic approach like Marlon Gobel's heart sweater, its smart design and illustration reads more masculine to me.

PS.  For those of you who don't know Michelle Obama wore a heart sweater to a basket ball game and the sweater flew off the shelves.

JCrew

Es interesante ver cómo se podría interpretar un corazón en términos de moda. Toma el suéter de corazón de Marlon Gobel, es bien factual - bien realista. El suéter de corazón de J.Crew fue hecho para una mujer. Es una caricatura simplificada de un corazón agrandado. Entonces, ¿qué nos dice esto acerca de los diseños orientados a las mujeres comparado a los orientados a los hombres? ¿Las mujeres prefieren los diseños e ilustraciones más idealistas mientras que los hombres prefieren los diseños realistas? De mi parte me quedo con el suéter de corazón de Marlon Gobel, su diseño es inteligente y la ilustración increíble y me parece mas masculino.

PS. Para aquellos de ustedes que no conocen a Michelle Obama llevaba un suéter de corazón a un partido de baloncesto y el suéter volaron de los estantes.
